Description

入力ペン及び入力ペンの製造方法Input pen and method of manufacturing input pen
　本発明は、木軸の中に入力体が装着された入力ペン及び該入力ペンの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an input pen having an input body mounted in a wooden shaft and a method for manufacturing the input pen.
　近年、画面上への物理的な接触により入力を行う入力ペンが広く用いられている。すなわち、ペン型に形成された位置指示器で、位置検出装置が設けられた板状の入力装置の入力面に接触して接触位置を検出するものである。 In recent years, input pens that input data by physically touching the screen have been widely used. That is, the position indicator formed in a pen shape detects the contact position by contacting the input surface of the plate-shaped input device provided with the position detection device.
　このような入力ペンには、入力面の被る物理的変化の態様に応じて、感圧式、静電容量式及び電磁誘導式等、様々な方式がある。また、入力ペンの分類には、電子回路を内蔵して自ら信号の発生に関与するアクティブ方式と、電子回路は内蔵せず入力面への物理的な作用のみを行うパッシブ方式とがあり、電磁誘導式は前者に、感圧式は後者に属する。なお、静電容量式には、電子回路を内蔵して先端に積極的に静電気を発生させるアクティブ方式と、電子回路は内蔵せず先端と手指との間に導電経路を確保した、いわば指先の延長として、入力面の静電容量を変化させるパッシブ方式との両方がある。 There are various types of input pens such as pressure-sensitive type, electrostatic capacitance type, and electromagnetic induction type, depending on the mode of physical change on the input surface. In addition, the input pen is classified into an active type that incorporates an electronic circuit and participates in signal generation by itself, and a passive type that does not incorporate an electronic circuit and only performs a physical action on the input surface. The induction type belongs to the former, and the pressure sensitive type belongs to the latter. The capacitive type has an active method in which an electronic circuit is built in to positively generate static electricity at the tip, and a conductive path is secured between the tip and fingers without incorporating an electronic circuit. As an extension, there are both a passive method that changes the capacitance of the input surface.
　上記した入力ペンの種々の方式のうち、電磁誘導方式では、入力装置の入力面の下に設置されている位置検出装置が発生する特定の周波数の電磁波に対して共振する電磁誘導コイルが入力ペンの中に設けられていて、この共振が生じた位置を入力位置として認識するものである。 Among the various methods of the input pen described above, in the electromagnetic induction method, an electromagnetic induction coil that resonates with an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency generated by a position detection device installed below the input surface of the input device is used by the input pen. It is provided in the inside and recognizes the position where this resonance occurs as the input position.
　そして、これら様々な方式を実現するための構造を棒状に成形したものを入力体として、この入力体を軸筒に装着したものが入力ペンとされる場合が多い。 In many cases, the rod-shaped structure that realizes these various methods is used as the input body, and the input pen attached to the barrel is often used as the input pen.
　たとえば、特開２０１９－４６０３７号公報には、入力体が装着されている軸筒の材質を木材とすることで、これを軸筒に収容して電磁誘導タッチペンとする場合、その軸筒の材質が電磁誘導に影響を与えて入力ができなくなることを防ぐことができる。 For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2019-46037, when the material of the shaft cylinder on which the input body is mounted is wood, and this is housed in the shaft cylinder to be an electromagnetic induction touch pen, the material of the shaft cylinder is Can be prevented from affecting the electromagnetic induction and being unable to input.
　軸筒として木材を使用する入力ペンにおいては、木材で形成された軸筒である木軸に対し、装着されている入力体が使用中に脱落しないようにする必要がある。上記特開２０１９－４６０３７号公報記載の発明においては、入力体を木軸に装着する際に木軸との間のわずかなクリアランス（たとえば、０．２ｍｍ未満）を利用して入力体が木軸に挿入されるが、その際に木軸と入力体とが擦れ合うことで発生するガタツキによって入力体が破損し、入力ペンとしての用をなさなくなるおそれがある。特に、入力体がアクティブ方式の入力ペンとして用いられるものである場合には、木軸への装着の際に、内蔵する電子回路を損傷することは絶対に避けなければならない。さらには、入力体装着の際に木軸と入力体とが擦れ合うことで発生するガタツキによって木軸の方が損傷するおそれもある。 In an input pen that uses wood as the barrel, it is necessary to prevent the attached input body from falling off during use with respect to the wooden shaft, which is the barrel made of wood. In the invention described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2019-46037, when the input body is mounted on the wooden shaft, a slight clearance (for example, less than 0.2 mm) between the input body and the wooden shaft is used so that the input body is However, there is a risk that the input body may be damaged due to rattling caused by the rubbing of the wooden shaft and the input body at that time, and the input pen may no longer be used. Especially when the input body is used as an active type input pen, it is absolutely necessary to avoid damaging the built-in electronic circuit when the input body is attached to the wooden shaft. Further, there is a possibility that the wooden shaft may be damaged by rattling caused by rubbing between the wooden shaft and the input body when the input device is attached.

　図５は、図４の木軸２０をＡ－Ａ断面で示したものである。木軸２０の前半部分には、軸心に沿って穿設された孔である装着孔２３が設けられている。木軸２０は、図５におけるＢ－Ｂ断面である図６に示すように、鉛筆様に断面六角形を呈し、その軸心に装着孔２３が形成されている。 FIG. 5 shows the wooden shaft 20 of FIG. 4 taken along the line AA. A mounting hole 23, which is a hole formed along the axis, is provided in the front half of the wooden shaft 20. As shown in FIG. 6, which is a BB cross section in FIG. 5, the wooden shaft 20 has a hexagonal cross section like a pencil, and a mounting hole 23 is formed in the shaft center thereof.
　図７は、図１の入力ペン１０における入力体３０の外観を正面図で示したものである。入力体３０は、筒状の外筒３１の内部に後述するデジタイザユニット４０が内蔵されたものであり、先端からは前記した接触先端４２が突出している。また、後端には支持蓋３２が装着されている。外筒３１は、ポリカーボネートＡＢＳ（ＰＣ／ＡＢＳ）ポリマーアロイ樹脂で形成されている。 FIG. 7 is a front view showing the appearance of the input body 30 of the input pen 10 of FIG. The input body 30 is one in which a digitizer unit 40, which will be described later, is housed inside a tubular outer cylinder 31, and the above-mentioned contact tip 42 projects from the tip. A support lid 32 is attached to the rear end. The outer cylinder 31 is formed of polycarbonate ABS (PC / ABS) polymer alloy resin.
　図８は、図７の入力体３０をＣ－Ｃ断面で示したものである。外筒３１に内蔵されているデジタイザユニット４０は、キャパシタ４７を搭載した回路基板４８を内蔵した収納筒４３の先端に、先端継手４１を介して、電磁誘導コイル４５が巻き回されている棒状のフェライトコア４４が装着され、また、その収納筒４３の後端に、可変容量キャパシタ４６ａによる筆圧検知部４６が装着された構造を有する。フェライトコア４４の先端には合成樹脂製の接触先端４２が固定されている。キャパシタ４７の２つの足４７ａ、４７ｂは、回路基板４８の配線によって２つの先端側の端子４８ａ、４８ｂとそれぞれ連絡しているとともに、２つの後端側の端子４８ｃ、４８ｄともそれぞれ連絡している。先端側の端子４８ａ、４８ｂはそれぞれ電磁誘導コイル４５の両端の延長線４５ａ、４５ｂと接続している。後端側の端子４８ｃ、４８ｄはそれぞれ筆圧検知部４６内の可変容量キャパシタ４６ａ（図９参照）の２つの足４６ｃ、４６ｄと接続している。この可変容量キャパシタ４６ａは、接触先端４２に加えられた筆圧により印加される圧力を、静電容量の変化として検出するものである。以上のフェライトコア４４、電磁誘導コイル４５、可変容量キャパシタ４６ａ及びキャパシタ４７は、入力体３０の中に内蔵される電子部品であり、回路基板４８の配線によって図９に示すような並列共振回路を形成している。また、外筒３１の後端には、筆圧検知部４６の後端を支持する支持蓋３２が装着されている。 FIG. 8 shows the input body 30 of FIG. 7 in a CC cross section. The digitizer unit 40 built in the outer cylinder 31 has a rod-like shape in which an electromagnetic induction coil 45 is wound around a tip of a housing cylinder 43 having a built-in circuit board 48 on which a capacitor 47 is mounted via a tip joint 41. It has a structure in which a ferrite core 44 is mounted, and a writing pressure detector 46 by a variable capacitor 46a is mounted at the rear end of the storage cylinder 43. The contact tip 42 made of synthetic resin is fixed to the tip of the ferrite core 44. The two legs 47a and 47b of the capacitor 47 are connected to the two terminals 48a and 48b on the front end side by wiring of the circuit board 48, and are also connected to the terminals 48c and 48d on the rear end side, respectively. .. The terminals 48a and 48b on the tip end side are connected to the extension lines 45a and 45b at both ends of the electromagnetic induction coil 45, respectively. The terminals 48c and 48d on the rear end side are connected to the two legs 46c and 46d of the variable capacitor 46a (see FIG. 9) in the writing pressure detector 46, respectively. The variable capacitor 46a detects the pressure applied by the writing pressure applied to the contact tip 42 as a change in capacitance. The ferrite core 44, the electromagnetic induction coil 45, the variable capacitor 46a, and the capacitor 47 described above are electronic components built in the input body 30, and the parallel resonance circuit as shown in FIG. Is forming. A support lid 32 that supports the rear end of the writing pressure detector 46 is attached to the rear end of the outer cylinder 31.
　図７に示す入力体３０は、図４に示す木軸２０の装着孔２３（図５参照）に挿入されて、図１に示すような電磁誘導式の入力ペン１０となる。この入力ペン１０を図１、図２及び図３のＤ－Ｄ断面で示したのが図１０である。なお、図１０では入力体３０の内部構造は省略している。入力体３０の大部分は装着孔２３に収容されており、接触先端４２を含む先端部分のみが木軸２０の先端から突出している。なお、木軸２０の後端の縮径部２４を被覆するようにして、テールキャップ２２が装着されている。 The input body 30 shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 23 (see FIG. 5) of the wooden shaft 20 shown in FIG. 4 to become the electromagnetic induction type input pen 10 as shown in FIG. FIG. 10 shows the input pen 10 in the DD cross section of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Note that the internal structure of the input body 30 is omitted in FIG. 10. Most of the input body 30 is housed in the mounting hole 23, and only the tip portion including the contact tip 42 projects from the tip of the wooden shaft 20. A tail cap 22 is attached so as to cover the reduced diameter portion 24 at the rear end of the wooden shaft 20.
　図１１は、図１０のＥ－Ｅ断面を示したものである。なお、入力体３０の内部構造は省略している。木軸２０の装着孔２３の内側面と、入力体３０の外側面との間には、固着剤５０が介在している。固着剤５０は、入力体３０を装着孔２３に対して固着させるための構成である。固着剤５０としては、木材とプラスチック（特に、ＰＣ／ＡＢＳポリマーアロイ樹脂）との接着に適した接着剤を用いることができる。このような接着剤としては、たとえば、水性形接着剤の合成ゴム系ラテックス系接着剤、溶剤形接着剤のゴム系溶剤系接着剤又は反応型接着剤のエポキシ樹脂系接着剤を使用することが可能である。 FIG. 11 shows the EE cross section of FIG. The internal structure of the input body 30 is omitted. The adhesive 50 is interposed between the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 and the outer surface of the input body 30. The adhesive 50 has a structure for fixing the input body 30 to the mounting hole 23. As the adhesive 50, an adhesive suitable for adhering wood and plastic (particularly PC / ABS polymer alloy resin) can be used. As such an adhesive, for example, a synthetic rubber-based latex adhesive of a water-based adhesive, a rubber-based solvent-based adhesive of a solvent-based adhesive, or an epoxy resin-based adhesive of a reactive adhesive may be used. It is possible.
　ここで、入力体３０には前述したように電子部品が内蔵されているため、装着孔２３に圧入されて装着されるようなことがあると電子部品の損傷をもたらすおそれがあり、入力ペン１０としての使用に支障を来す可能性がある。そのため、本実施形態では、装着孔２３の内径は、入力体３０を圧入せずとも挿入可能な程度の長さ、換言すると、入力体３０が遊嵌される程度の長さとなっている。 Here, since the electronic component is built in the input body 30 as described above, the electronic component may be damaged if it is pressed into the mounting hole 23 and mounted, and the input pen 10 may be damaged. May interfere with its use. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 23 is a length that allows the input body 30 to be inserted without being press-fitted, in other words, a length that allows the input body 30 to be loosely fitted.
　そして、装着孔２３の内側面に固着剤５０を塗布してから入力体３０を遊嵌させることで、入力体３０に過度な力を加えずに木軸２０に装着することが可能となり、同時に、装着の際に木軸２０を損傷することもない。入力体３０を装着した後は、固着剤５０が固化すれば、入力体３０は装着孔２３に対し完全に固着され、使用中に脱落することはない。そして、固着剤５０は、装着孔２３と入力体３０との間に充填されることが望ましい。 Then, by applying the adhesive 50 to the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 and then loosely fitting the input body 30, it becomes possible to mount the input body 30 on the wooden shaft 20 without applying excessive force, and at the same time. Also, the wooden shaft 20 is not damaged when it is mounted. After the input body 30 is mounted, if the adhesive 50 solidifies, the input body 30 is completely fixed to the mounting hole 23 and does not fall off during use. The adhesive 50 is preferably filled between the mounting hole 23 and the input body 30.
　図１２は、本実施形態の入力ペン１０の使用状態を示すものである。入力装置７０の入力面７１の下面には、特定の周波数の電磁波を周期的に発生する図示しない位置検出装置が設けられている。そして、入力面７１の上を入力ペン１０の接触先端４２で描線７２のようになぞると、接触先端４２が押圧される。このとき、図９に示す並列共振回路が電磁波により共鳴し、電磁誘導コイル４５で生成された電気がキャパシタ４７に蓄電される。この電気が電磁誘導コイル４５を流れることによって生ずる電磁波を、入力ペン１０が送信しこれを前記位置検出装置が受信することで、この電磁誘導が生じた位置を、入力装置７０は座標情報として認識することで、描線７２が電子データとして記録されることとなる。ここで、可変容量キャパシタ４６ａは、接触先端４２の押圧により電気容量が変化するため、これによって入力ペン１０が送信する電磁波の周波数を変化させることができる。この周波数の変化を前記位置検出装置で検知することによって、描線７２に関する様々な属性として認識させることが可能となっている。この様々な属性とは、たとえば、描線７２の太さ及び色であったり、また、描画モードの切り替え（筆記モード及び消去モード）であったりする。 FIG. 12 shows a usage state of the input pen 10 of this embodiment. On the lower surface of the input surface 71 of the input device 70, a position detection device (not shown) that periodically generates an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency is provided. Then, when the contact tip 42 of the input pen 10 is traced on the input surface 71 as a drawing line 72, the contact tip 42 is pressed. At this time, the parallel resonance circuit shown in FIG. 9 resonates with the electromagnetic wave, and the electricity generated by the electromagnetic induction coil 45 is stored in the capacitor 47. The input pen 10 transmits the electromagnetic wave generated by the electricity flowing through the electromagnetic induction coil 45, and the position detecting device receives the electromagnetic wave, whereby the input device 70 recognizes the position where the electromagnetic induction occurs as coordinate information. By doing so, the drawn line 72 is recorded as electronic data. Here, since the capacitance of the variable capacitance capacitor 46a changes due to the pressing of the contact tip 42, it is possible to change the frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitted by the input pen 10. By detecting this change in frequency with the position detection device, it is possible to recognize various attributes regarding the drawn line 72. The various attributes include, for example, the thickness and color of the drawn line 72, and switching of drawing modes (writing mode and erasing mode).
　ここで、木軸２０の材質として用いられる種類としては、たとえば、気乾比重１未満とした木材であり、檜、檜葉、桐、チーク、マホガニー、杉、松、桜、竹、アオダモ、ホワイトアッシュ、ホワイトファー、ハードメープル、インセンスシダー、リンデン、バルサなどが挙げられる。また、無垢の木材だけではなく、間伐材、廃材チップや木粉等を集めて固めた圧縮加工材料のような木質材を使用することも可能である。また、その際の含水率は２０％未満である。なお、含水率は、電気式水分計ＭＲ－２００ＩＩ（サンコウ電子研究所）を用いて測定することができる。 Here, as the type of material used for the wooden shaft 20, for example, wood having an air-dry specific gravity of less than 1, such as cypress, cypress leaf, paulownia, teak, mahogany, cedar, pine, cherry tree, bamboo, aodamo, white ash , White fur, hard maple, incense cedar, linden, balsa and the like. In addition to solid wood, it is also possible to use wood materials such as thinned wood, waste wood chips, wood flour, and other compression-processed materials that are hardened. The water content at that time is less than 20%. The water content can be measured with an electric moisture meter MR-200II (Sankou Denshi Kenkyusho).
　ここで、入力ペン１０の軸筒として、木軸２０を使用する意義は以下の通りである。 Here, the significance of using the wooden shaft 20 as the barrel of the input pen 10 is as follows.
　合成ゴム又は合成樹脂のような無機質の素材より、天然の木材のような有機質の素材の方が環境に優しいものであり、自然の素材で作成され、また、コンピューターを操作する人にとっても木の香りによる安らぎを与えることができる。また、木材を用いることによって靭性が高く衝撃にも強いために木軸２０が割れにくく、また、落下時等の音を吸収するという別の効果もある。さらに、塗装すると、木材の道管の色が濃く染まって木目が浮き出し美しく仕上がるという利点もある。 Organic materials, such as natural wood, are more environmentally friendly than inorganic materials, such as synthetic rubber or synthetic resin, are made of natural materials, and are also tree-friendly for computer operators. The scent can give comfort. In addition, since wood has high toughness and is resistant to impact, the wooden shaft 20 is unlikely to break, and has another effect of absorbing sound when dropped. In addition, painting has the advantage that the color of the wood pipe is deeply dyed and the wood grain appears and is finished beautifully.
　また、木材は、水分を吸収するので、指に汗をかいた場合であっても、指先の汗を吸収し、指が汗で滑ったりすることがない。さらに利用者の手が直接木軸２０の木肌に触れるので木の温もりが伝わり作業効率の向上が期待される。 Also, since wood absorbs water, even if your finger sweats, it absorbs the sweat from your fingertips, and your fingers do not slip due to sweat. Furthermore, since the user's hand directly touches the wood surface of the wooden shaft 20, the warmth of the wood is transmitted, and improvement in work efficiency is expected.
　そして、木材は、使い込めば、使い込む程に特有の渋みが生れ、独特の風雅な感じを与えることができる。 And, the more you use wood, the more astringent it produces, the more you can give it a unique and elegant feeling.
　ゆえに日常を無機質で無味乾燥な電子部材に囲まれている作業環境のなかで、木軸２０が有する特有の手触り感と暖かさにはストレス解消と癒しの心理効果が期待される。また、それぞれに異なる木目模様の個性的なゆらぎや質感等の固体別特徴により、長期の使用頻度に比例して専用意識が芽生え、日常の手入れを楽しめる等の精神的なリラックス効果も望める。 Therefore, in the working environment surrounded by inorganic and tasteless electronic materials, the peculiar feel and warmth of the wooden shaft 20 are expected to have stress-relieving and healing psychological effects. In addition, due to individual characteristics such as individual fluctuations and textures of different wood grain patterns, a dedicated consciousness emerges in proportion to the frequency of long-term use, and a mental relaxing effect such as enjoying daily care can be expected.
　また、学校教育現場のような、デジタル機器と非デジタルなアナログ製品とが混在しやすい環境下では、筆記具として用いられる鉛筆等と近似した材料を用いることで、違和感なく使用することができる。 Also, in an environment where digital devices and non-digital analog products are likely to coexist, such as at a school education site, it is possible to use it without discomfort by using a material similar to a pencil used as a writing instrument.
　さらに、比較的軽量な木軸２０に対して、より密度の高い入力体３０が前半部分に装着されているため、入力ペン１０としての重心が前方寄りとなるため、手指で把持する際の安定感が増し、使用感を向上させることも可能となる。 Further, since the input body 30 having a higher density is attached to the front half of the relatively lightweight wooden shaft 20, the center of gravity of the input pen 10 is closer to the front, and therefore, stability when gripping with the fingers is achieved. The feeling is increased, and the feeling of use can be improved.
＜第２実施形態＞
　図１３は、第２実施形態に係る入力ペン１０を、正面断面図にて示すものである。本実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の外観は第１実施形態（図１参照）と同様であるが、木軸２０の装着孔２３の内側面に、補強樹脂６０が含浸されている点で第１実施形態と相違する。この補強樹脂６０としては、たとえば、二液エポキシ樹脂を使用することが可能である。このような補強樹脂６０を、装着孔２３の内側面に塗布し、所定時間放置することで、図１３に示すように装着孔２３の内側面付近の木材に含浸された状態で固化し、それによって装着孔２３の内側面が補強されることになる。そのため、木軸２０のテーパ部２１のように肉薄の部分の強度が増し、入力体３０の装着時や使用中に損傷する可能性を低減させることができる。 <Second Embodiment>
FIG. 13 is a front sectional view of the input pen 10 according to the second embodiment. The external appearance of the input pen 10 according to this embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment (see FIG. 1), but the first aspect is that the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 is impregnated with the reinforcing resin 60. Different from the embodiment. As the reinforcing resin 60, for example, a two-component epoxy resin can be used. Such a reinforcing resin 60 is applied to the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 and left for a predetermined time to solidify the wood in the vicinity of the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 as shown in FIG. As a result, the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 is reinforced. Therefore, the strength of the thin portion such as the taper portion 21 of the wooden shaft 20 is increased, and the possibility of damage during mounting or use of the input body 30 can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the wooden shaft 20 is formed by bonding two members, that is, the wooden shaft members 28 and 29 with the adhesive agent 55. The wood shaft members 28 and 29 are usually formed of wood of the same tree species, but wood of different tree species may be used. As the adhesive agent 55, an adhesive agent capable of adhering woods to each other, for example, a bond for woodworking can be used.

Further, the adhesive 50 is interposed between the inner side surface of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 and the outer side surface of the input body 30. The adhesive 50 is the same as in the first embodiment.
　ここで、入力体３０には前述したように電子部品が内蔵されているため、装着孔２３に圧入されて装着されるようなことがあると電子部品の損傷をもたらすおそれがあり、入力ペン１０としての使用に支障を来す可能性がある。そのため、本実施形態では、装着孔２３の内径は、入力体３０を圧入せずとも挿入可能な程度の長さ、換言すると、入力体３０が遊嵌される程度の長さとなっている。 Here, since the electronic component is built in the input body 30 as described above, the electronic component may be damaged if it is pressed into the mounting hole 23 and mounted, and the input pen 10 may be damaged.

　図３８は、図３７の入力ペンにおける木軸２０の正面図である。木軸２０の先端は、先述のように先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっている。 38 is a front view of the wooden shaft 20 in the input pen of FIG. The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is the tapered portion 21 that is tapered as described above.
　図３９は、図３８の木軸２０をＱ－Ｑ断面で示したものである。本実施形態では、木軸２０は、２つの部材、すなわち木軸部材２８、２９が貼着剤５５（図４０参照）で貼り合わされて形成されている。これらの木軸部材２８、２９は、通常は同じ樹種の木材で形成されるが、異なる樹種の木材を使用してもよい。この貼着剤５５としては、木材同士を接着することの可能な接着剤、たとえば木工用ボンドを使用することができる。木軸２０には、先端から後端まで軸心に沿って貫通した孔である装着孔２３が設けられている。木軸２０は、図３９におけるＲ－Ｒ断面である図４０に示すように、鉛筆様に断面円形を呈し、その軸心に装着孔２３が形成されている。 FIG. 39 shows the wooden shaft 20 of FIG. 38 in a QQ section. In the present embodiment, the wooden shaft 20 is formed by bonding two members, that is, the wooden shaft members 28 and 29 with the adhesive 55 (see FIG. 40). The wood shaft members 28 and 29 are usually formed of wood of the same tree species, but wood of different tree species may be used. As the adhesive agent 55, an adhesive agent capable of adhering woods to each other, for example, a bond for woodworking can be used. The wooden shaft 20 is provided with a mounting hole 23 which is a hole penetrating along the axis from the front end to the rear end. As shown in FIG. 40, which is an RR cross section in FIG. 39, the wooden shaft 20 has a circular cross section like a pencil, and a mounting hole 23 is formed in the axial center thereof.
　図３７の入力ペン１０に装着される入力体３０については、前記第１実施形態と同様である。この入力体３０が、図３８に示す木軸２０の装着孔２３（図３９参照）の前半部分に挿入される。入力体３０の大部分は装着孔２３に収容されており、接触先端４２を含む先端部分のみが木軸２０の先端から突出している。 The input body 30 attached to the input pen 10 in FIG. 37 is the same as that in the first embodiment. The input body 30 is inserted into the front half of the mounting hole 23 (see FIG. 39) of the wooden shaft 20 shown in FIG. Most of the input body 30 is housed in the mounting hole 23, and only the tip portion including the contact tip 42 projects from the tip of the wooden shaft 20.
　なお、木軸２０の後端の縮径部２４を被覆するようにして、テールキャップ２２が装着されている。このテールキャップ２２を貫通して、木軸２０の装着孔２３の後半部分に挿入された第２入力体８０の接触後端９２が後方へ突出している。第２入力体８０は、筒状の第２外筒８１の内部に後述する第２デジタイザユニット９０が内蔵されたものであり、後端からは前記した接触後端９２が突出している。また、先端には第２支持蓋８２が装着されている。第２外筒８１は、ポリカーボネートＡＢＳ（ＰＣ／ＡＢＳ）ポリマーアロイ樹脂で形成されている。 A tail cap 22 is attached so as to cover the reduced diameter portion 24 at the rear end of the wooden shaft 20. The contact rear end 92 of the second input body 80, which penetrates through the tail cap 22 and is inserted into the latter half of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20, projects rearward. The second input body 80 is one in which a second digitizer unit 90, which will be described later, is incorporated inside a cylindrical second outer cylinder 81, and the contact rear end 92 described above projects from the rear end. A second support lid 82 is attached to the tip. The second outer cylinder 81 is made of polycarbonate ABS (PC / ABS) polymer alloy resin.
　第２外筒８１に内蔵されている第２デジタイザユニット９０は、第２キャパシタ９７を搭載した第２回路基板９８を内蔵した第２収納筒９３の後端に、後端継手９１を介して、第２電磁誘導コイル９５が巻き回されている棒状の第２フェライトコア９４が装着され、また、その第２収納筒９３の先端に、第２可変容量キャパシタ９６ａによる第２筆圧検知部９６が装着された構造を有する。第２フェライトコア９４の後端には合成樹脂製の接触後端９２が固定されている。接触後端９２は、後端が閉塞した略円筒形状の接触部９２ａと、後端の内面から先端へ突出し第２フェライトコア９４に接続される接続部９２ｂとを備える。第２キャパシタ９７の２つの足９７ａ、９７ｂは、第２回路基板９８の配線によって２つの後端側の端子９８ａ、９８ｂとそれぞれ連絡しているとともに、２つの先端側の端子９８ｃ、９８ｄともそれぞれ連絡している。後端側の端子９８ａ、９８ｂはそれぞれ第２電磁誘導コイル９５の両端の延長線９５ａ、９５ｂと接続している。先端側の端子９８ｃ、９８ｄはそれぞれ第２筆圧検知部９６内の可変容量キャパシタ９６ａ（図４２参照）の２つの足９６ｃ、９６ｄと接続している。この可変容量キャパシタ９６ａは、接触後端９２に加えられた筆圧により印加される圧力を、静電容量の変化として検出するものである。以上の第２フェライトコア９４、第２電磁誘導コイル９５、第２可変容量キャパシタ９６ａ及び第２キャパシタ９７は、第２入力体８０の中に内蔵される電子部品であり、第２回路基板９８の配線によって図４２に示すような並列共振回路を形成している。また、第２外筒８１の後端には、第２筆圧検知部９６の後端を支持する第２支持蓋８２が装着されている。 The second digitizer unit 90 contained in the second outer cylinder 81 has a rear end joint 91 at a rear end of a second storage cylinder 93 having a second circuit board 98 having a second capacitor 97 mounted therein. The rod-shaped second ferrite core 94 around which the second electromagnetic induction coil 95 is wound is mounted, and the second writing pressure detection unit 96 by the second variable capacitor 96a is attached to the tip of the second storage cylinder 93. It has a mounted structure. A contact rear end 92 made of synthetic resin is fixed to the rear end of the second ferrite core 94. The contact rear end 92 includes a substantially cylindrical contact portion 92a having a closed rear end, and a connecting portion 92b protruding from the inner surface of the rear end to the tip and connected to the second ferrite core 94. The two legs 97a and 97b of the second capacitor 97 are connected to the two terminals 98a and 98b on the rear end side by the wiring of the second circuit board 98, respectively, and the terminals 98c and 98d on the two tip ends are also connected to each other. I am in touch. Terminals 98a and 98b on the rear end side are connected to extension lines 95a and 95b at both ends of the second electromagnetic induction coil 95, respectively. The terminals 98c and 98d on the tip end side are connected to the two legs 96c and 96d of the variable capacitance capacitor 96a (see FIG. 42) in the second writing pressure detection unit 96, respectively. The variable capacitor 96a detects the pressure applied by the writing pressure applied to the contact rear end 92 as a change in electrostatic capacitance. The second ferrite core 94, the second electromagnetic induction coil 95, the second variable capacitor 96a, and the second capacitor 97 described above are electronic components built in the second input body 80, and are provided on the second circuit board 98. The wiring forms a parallel resonance circuit as shown in FIG. 42. A second support lid 82 that supports the rear end of the second writing pressure detector 96 is attached to the rear end of the second outer cylinder 81.
　なお、木軸２０の装着孔２３のほぼ中間部分には、入力体３０の支持蓋３２と第２入力体８０の支持蓋８２とを連結する内部継手１５が内蔵されている。また、木軸２０の装着孔２３の内側面と、入力体３０及び第２入力体８０の各々の外側面との間には、前記第１実施形態と同様に固着剤５０が介在している（図１１参照）。固着剤５０に関しては前記第１実施形態と同様である。 Note that an internal joint 15 that connects the support lid 32 of the input body 30 and the support lid 82 of the second input body 80 is built in approximately in the middle of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20. Further, the adhesive 50 is interposed between the inner side surface of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 and the outer side surfaces of the input body 30 and the second input body 80, as in the first embodiment. (See Figure 11). The adhesive 50 is the same as in the first embodiment.
　ここで、入力体３０及び第２入力体８０には前述したように電子部品が内蔵されているため、装着孔２３に圧入されて装着されるようなことがあると電子部品の損傷をもたらすおそれがあり、入力ペン１０としての使用に支障を来す可能性がある。そのため、本実施形態では、装着孔２３の内径は、入力体３０及び第２入力体８０を圧入せずとも挿入可能な程度の長さ、換言すると、入力体３０及び第２入力体８０が遊嵌される程度の長さとなっている。 Here, since the electronic component is built in the input body 30 and the second input body 80 as described above, the electronic component may be damaged if it is mounted by being press-fitted into the mounting hole 23. Therefore, the use as the input pen 10 may be hindered. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 23 is such a length that the input body 30 and the second input body 80 can be inserted without being press-fitted, in other words, the input body 30 and the second input body 80 are free. It is long enough to fit.
　そして、装着孔２３の内側面に固着剤５０を塗布してから入力体３０及び第２入力体８０を遊嵌させることで、入力体３０及び第２入力体８０に過度な力を加えずに木軸２０に装着することが可能となり、同時に、装着の際に木軸２０を損傷することもない。入力体３０及び第２入力体８０を装着した後は、固着剤５０が固化すれば、入力体３０及び第２入力体８０は装着孔２３に対し完全に固着され、使用中に脱落することはない。そして、固着剤５０は、装着孔２３と入力体３０及び第２入力体８０との間に充填されることが望ましい。 Then, by applying the adhesive agent 50 to the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 and then loosely fitting the input body 30 and the second input body 80, an excessive force is not applied to the input body 30 and the second input body 80. The wooden shaft 20 can be mounted on the wooden shaft 20, and at the same time, the wooden shaft 20 is not damaged during mounting. After the input body 30 and the second input body 80 are mounted, if the adhesive 50 is solidified, the input body 30 and the second input body 80 are completely fixed to the mounting hole 23 and cannot be dropped during use. Absent. The adhesive 50 is preferably filled between the mounting hole 23 and the input body 30 and the second input body 80.
　本実施形態の入力ペン１０において、入力体３０による使用状態は、第１実施形態と同様であり、図１２に準ずる。入力装置７０の入力面７１の下面には、特定の周波数の電磁波を周期的に発生する図示しない位置検出装置が設けられている。そして、入力面７１の上を入力ペン１０の接触先端４２で描線７２のようになぞると、接触先端４２が押圧される。このとき、図９に示す並列共振回路が電磁波により共鳴し、電磁誘導コイル４５で生成された電気がキャパシタ４７に蓄電される。この電気が電磁誘導コイル４５を流れることによって生ずる電磁波を、入力ペン１０が送信しこれを前記位置検出装置が受信することで、この電磁誘導が生じた位置を、入力装置７０は座標情報として認識することで、描線７２が電子データとして記録されることとなる。ここで、可変容量キャパシタ４６ａは、接触先端４２の押圧により電気容量が変化するため、これによって入力ペン１０が送信する電磁波の周波数を変化させることができる。この周波数の変化を前記位置検出装置で検知することによって、描線７２に関する様々な属性として認識させることが可能となっている。この様々な属性とは、たとえば、描線７２の太さ及び色とすることができる。 In the input pen 10 of the present embodiment, the usage state of the input body 30 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and conforms to FIG. On the lower surface of the input surface 71 of the input device 70, a position detection device (not shown) that periodically generates an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency is provided. Then, when the contact tip 42 of the input pen 10 is traced on the input surface 71 as a drawing line 72, the contact tip 42 is pressed. At this time, the parallel resonance circuit shown in FIG. 9 resonates with the electromagnetic wave, and the electricity generated by the electromagnetic induction coil 45 is stored in the capacitor 47. The input pen 10 transmits the electromagnetic wave generated by the electricity flowing through the electromagnetic induction coil 45, and the position detecting device receives the electromagnetic wave, whereby the input device 70 recognizes the position where the electromagnetic induction occurs as coordinate information. By doing so, the drawn line 72 is recorded as electronic data. Here, since the capacitance of the variable capacitance capacitor 46a changes due to the pressing of the contact tip 42, it is possible to change the frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitted by the input pen 10. By detecting this change in frequency with the position detection device, it is possible to recognize various attributes regarding the drawn line 72. The various attributes can be, for example, the thickness and color of the drawn line 72.
　一方、第２入力体８０は、入力体３０により入力された情報を消去するための消去ユニットとして使用される。その際には、本実施形態の入力ペン１０の後端を下向きにして、図１２とほぼ同様に使用される。すなわち、入力面７１に既に入力されている描線７２の上を入力ペン１０の接触後端９２でなぞると、接触後端９２が押圧される。このとき、図４２に示す並列共振回路が電磁波により共鳴し、第２電磁誘導コイル９５で生成された電気が第２キャパシタ９７に蓄電される。この電気が第２電磁誘導コイル９５を流れることによって生ずる電磁波を、入力ペン１０が送信しこれを前記位置検出装置が受信することで、この電磁誘導が生じた位置を、入力装置７０は座標情報として認識することで、描線７２が消去される旨の電子データとして記録されることとなる。 On the other hand, the second input body 80 is used as an erasing unit for erasing the information input by the input body 30. At this time, the input pen 10 of the present embodiment is used with its rear end facing downwards, in substantially the same manner as in FIG. That is, when the contact rear end 92 of the input pen 10 is traced over the drawn line 72 that has already been input on the input surface 71, the contact rear end 92 is pressed. At this time, the parallel resonant circuit shown in FIG. 42 resonates with the electromagnetic wave, and the electricity generated by the second electromagnetic induction coil 95 is stored in the second capacitor 97. The input pen 10 transmits an electromagnetic wave generated by the electricity flowing through the second electromagnetic induction coil 95, and the position detecting device receives the electromagnetic wave. By recognizing as, it is recorded as electronic data to the effect that the drawn line 72 is erased.
　ここで、接触後端９２は描線７２の消去という使用目的に鑑みて、入力面７１との接触面積が接触先端４２よりも大きくなるように形成されている。なお、第２入力体８０の内部の電子部品の設定によって、第２入力体８０は、たとえばより太い描線の入力や、入力体３０とは異なる色の描線の入力に対応させることも可能である。その際には、接触後端９２の押圧により電気容量が変化する第２可変容量キャパシタ９６ａによって、入力体３０の場合と同様に入力ペン１０が送信する電磁波の周波数を変化させることができる。この周波数の変化を前記位置検出装置で検知することによって、描線７２に関する様々な属性（たとえば、描線７２の太さ及び色）として認識させることが可能である。 Here, the contact rear end 92 is formed so that the contact area with the input surface 71 is larger than that of the contact tip 42 in view of the purpose of erasing the drawn line 72. It should be noted that the second input body 80 can be made to correspond to, for example, input of a thicker drawn line or input of a drawn line of a color different from that of the input body 30 by setting electronic components inside the second input body 80. .. At that time, the frequency of the electromagnetic wave transmitted by the input pen 10 can be changed by the second variable capacitor 96a whose electric capacity is changed by pressing the contact rear end 92, as in the case of the input body 30. By detecting this change in frequency with the position detection device, it is possible to recognize various attributes of the drawn line 72 (for example, the thickness and color of the drawn line 72).
　なお、入力ペン１０に木軸２０を使用する意義については、前記第１実施形態と同様である。また、前記第２実施形態と同様に、木軸２０の装着孔２３の内側面に、補強樹脂６０を含浸させてもよい。 The significance of using the wooden shaft 20 for the input pen 10 is the same as in the first embodiment. Further, similarly to the second embodiment, the inner surface of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 may be impregnated with the reinforcing resin 60.
＜第１０実施形態＞
　本発明の第１０実施形態に係る入力ペン１０は、図４３の正面断面図に示すように、２つの木軸部材２８、２９が貼り合わされて形成されている木軸２０の装着孔２３の前半部分に入力体３０が装着される一方、後半部分に後端スペーサとしての鉛筆芯１５０が装着されているものである。また、鉛筆芯１５０が外面に露出することによる汚れを防ぐために、木軸２０の後端に塗料を後方に凸となるように盛った凸部２５が施されている。たとえば、凸部２５を形成するための塗料に導電性塗料を用いることで後端側に静電容量タイプの入力ペンの機能を付与することができる。木軸２０の先端は先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっている。 <Tenth Embodiment>
As shown in the front sectional view of FIG. 43, the input pen 10 according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention has a front half of a mounting hole 23 of a wooden shaft 20 formed by bonding two wooden shaft members 28 and 29 together. While the input body 30 is attached to the portion, a pencil lead 150 as a rear end spacer is attached to the latter half portion. In addition, in order to prevent the pencil lead 150 from being exposed to the outer surface and being contaminated, a convex portion 25 is formed on the rear end of the wooden shaft 20 so that the paint is convex backward. For example, by using a conductive paint as the paint for forming the convex portion 25, the function of the capacitance type input pen can be imparted to the rear end side. The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a tapered portion 21 that is tapered.
　本実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の製造方法を図４４Ａ～図４４Ｃ、図４５Ａ～図４５Ｃ及び図４６Ａ～図４６Ｃの正面断面図を参照しつつ説明する。まず、図４４Ａに示す工程において、木軸２０を構成する２部材のうちの一方の木軸部材２９に、長手方向の全長に渡って断面半円形の溝２３ａが形成される。なお、図示はしないが、他方の木軸部材２８にも同形の断面半円形の溝２３ａが形成される。そのため、通常の鉛筆の製造ラインにおけるいわゆるスラットをこれらの木軸部材２８、２９として流用することができる。なお、この状態で、後に装着孔２３の内側面となる溝２３ａの内周面に、第２実施形態で言及したような補強樹脂６０を含浸させておいてもよい。 A method of manufacturing the input pen 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to front sectional views of FIGS. 44A to 44C, 45A to 45C, and 46A to 46C. First, in the step shown in FIG. 44A, a groove 23a having a semicircular cross section is formed in one of the two members forming the wooden shaft 20 over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the wooden shaft member 29. Although not shown, a groove 23a having the same shape and a semicircular cross section is also formed in the other wooden shaft member 28. Therefore, so-called slats in a normal pencil manufacturing line can be used as the wooden shaft members 28 and 29. In this state, the inner peripheral surface of the groove 23a, which will be the inner side surface of the mounting hole 23 later, may be impregnated with the reinforcing resin 60 as described in the second embodiment.
　そして、図４４Ｂに示す工程において、中空の合成樹脂棒１００及び鉛筆芯１５０が、その表面に図示しない固着剤が塗布された状態で、溝２３ａの前半部分に合成樹脂棒１００が配されるとともに、溝２３ａの後半部分に鉛筆芯１５０が配される。なお、あらかじめ溝２３ａに固着剤が塗布された状態で、溝２３ａの前半部分にポリプロピレン製の合成樹脂棒１００が配されるとともに、溝２３ａの後半部分に鉛筆芯１５０が配されることとしてもよい。なお、合成樹脂棒１００は中空のものではなく、中実のものを使用してもよい。ここでこの固着剤については、前記第１実施形態で言及された固着剤５０と同様である。 Then, in the step shown in FIG. 44B, the hollow synthetic resin rod 100 and the pencil lead 150 are arranged on the front half of the groove 23a with the adhesive agent (not shown) applied to the surfaces thereof. The pencil lead 150 is arranged in the latter half of the groove 23a. Note that the polypropylene synthetic resin rod 100 may be arranged in the front half of the groove 23a and the pencil lead 150 may be arranged in the rear half of the groove 23a in a state where the adhesive is applied to the groove 23a in advance. Good. The synthetic resin rod 100 is not hollow and may be solid. Here, this adhesive is the same as the adhesive 50 mentioned in the first embodiment.
　次いで、図４４Ｃに示す工程において、他方の木軸部材２８が、その溝２３ａに合成樹脂棒１００及び鉛筆芯１５０を嵌入させるようにして、一方の木軸部材２９に貼り合わされることで、木軸２０が成形される。なお、これら木軸部材２８、２９の貼り合わせに関与する貼着剤５５については、前記第３実施形態と同様である。 Next, in the step shown in FIG. 44C, the other wooden stem member 28 is attached to the one wooden stem member 29 such that the synthetic resin rod 100 and the pencil lead 150 are fitted into the groove 23a thereof, whereby The shaft 20 is molded. The adhesive agent 55 involved in the attachment of the wooden shaft members 28, 29 is the same as in the third embodiment.
　この状態から、図４５Ａに示す工程で、木軸２０の後端に前記したように塗料が盛られ凸部２５が形成されるとともに、図４５Ｂに示す工程で、木軸２０の先端部分が、内蔵される合成樹脂棒１００とともに、所定の長さとなるように切り落とされる。さらに、図４５Ｃに示す工程で、木軸２０の先端部分が先細に切削されてテーパ部２１が形成される。 From this state, in the step shown in FIG. 45A, the convex portion 25 is formed by coating the rear end of the wooden shaft 20 as described above, and in the step shown in FIG. 45B, the tip portion of the wooden shaft 20 is Together with the built-in synthetic resin rod 100, it is cut off to a predetermined length. Further, in the step shown in FIG. 45C, the tip portion of the wooden shaft 20 is tapered to form the tapered portion 21.
　そしてこの状態から、図４６Ａに示す工程において、木軸２０の先端から合成樹脂棒１００が前方に引き抜かれる。合成樹脂棒１００を引き抜く方法としては、たとえば、合成樹脂棒１００の先端の空間にラグスクリューのような雄ネジが形成された工具を圧入したうえで、これを前方へ引っ張ることが挙げられるが、他にも適宜の方法が利用可能である。 From this state, in the step shown in FIG. 46A, the synthetic resin rod 100 is pulled out forward from the tip of the wooden shaft 20. As a method of pulling out the synthetic resin rod 100, for example, a tool having a male screw such as a lag screw is press-fitted into the space at the tip of the synthetic resin rod 100 and then pulled forward, Other appropriate methods can be used.
　ポリプロピレン製の合成樹脂棒１００が引き抜かれた後には、図４６Ｂに示すように装着孔２３が形成される。そして、図４６Ｃに示す工程において、前記第１実施形態と同様、装着孔２３との間に図示しない固着剤を介在させて、木軸２０の先端から入力体３０が後方へ挿入されることで、図４３に示す入力ペン１０が完成する。この入力体３０については、前記第１実施形態と同様である。 After the polypropylene synthetic resin rod 100 is pulled out, the mounting hole 23 is formed as shown in FIG. 46B. Then, in the step shown in FIG. 46C, as in the first embodiment, the input body 30 is inserted rearward from the tip end of the wooden shaft 20 by interposing an adhesive agent (not shown) between the mounting hole 23 and the mounting hole 23. The input pen 10 shown in FIG. 43 is completed. The input body 30 is the same as in the first embodiment.
　ここで、合成樹脂棒１００の材質としては、ポリプロピレン製に限らず、固着剤によって接着されない又は接着されにくい難接着性の合成樹脂が好ましい。そのような材質としてはたとえば、ポリアセタール、フッ素系樹脂、シリコーンゴム、ポリエチレン等が挙げられる。 Here, the material of the synthetic resin rod 100 is not limited to polypropylene, and it is preferable to use a synthetic resin that is difficult to adhere or is not easily adhered by a fixing agent. Examples of such a material include polyacetal, fluororesin, silicone rubber, polyethylene and the like.
　なお、上記の製造方法は、工程の省略や部品の変更等により上記した他の実施形態にも応用して用いることができる。 The above manufacturing method can be applied to other embodiments described above by omitting steps, changing parts, and the like.
＜第１１実施形態＞
　本発明の第１１実施形態に係る入力ペン１０において木軸２０に収容されるデジタイザユニット４０は、図４７Ａの正面図及び図４７Ｂの側面図に示すような外観を呈したリフィルとして構成され、また、図４７Ｃの側面断面図に示すような内部構造を有する。 <Eleventh Embodiment>
The digitizer unit 40 housed in the wooden shaft 20 in the input pen 10 according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention is configured as a refill having an appearance as shown in the front view of FIG. 47A and the side view of FIG. 47B. , The internal structure as shown in the side sectional view of FIG. 47C.
　デジタイザユニット４０は、図４７Ａ～図４７Ｃに示すように、金属製の収納筒４３の先端に、軸心に位置する棒状のフェライトコア４４（図４７Ｃ参照）を内蔵した合成樹脂製の先端継手４１が装着され、その先端に合成樹脂製の接触先端４２が装着されている。また、フェライトコア４４の外周には、先端継手４１を挟んで電磁誘導コイル４５が巻き回された状態で配設されている。収納筒４３の中には、電磁誘導コイル４５と電気的に接続された筆圧検知部４６とキャパシタ４７とが収納されている（図４７Ｃ参照）。筆圧検知部４６は、感圧センサにより構成されている。また、収納筒４３の後端は、後述する挿入規制部２４０と圧接する圧接部２５０となっている。さらに、収納筒４３を先端方向に付勢するリターンスプリング４９も装着されている。このリターンスプリング４９は、先端継手４１の押圧により収納筒４３が後方へ移動する際に圧縮される。そして、接触先端４２が押圧されると、デジタイザユニット４０のフェライトコア４４も後方へ押圧される。これにより、筆圧検知部４６が接触した状態となる。すなわち、筆圧検知部４６は接触先端４２に加わる押圧を感知する。 As shown in FIGS. 47A to 47C, the digitizer unit 40 is a synthetic resin tip joint 41 in which a rod-shaped ferrite core 44 (see FIG. 47C) located at the axial center is built into the tip of a metal storage cylinder 43. Is attached, and a contact tip 42 made of synthetic resin is attached to the tip thereof. An electromagnetic induction coil 45 is wound around the outer periphery of the ferrite core 44 with the tip joint 41 interposed therebetween. A pen pressure detector 46 and a capacitor 47, which are electrically connected to the electromagnetic induction coil 45, are housed in the housing cylinder 43 (see FIG. 47C). The writing pressure detection unit 46 is composed of a pressure sensitive sensor. Further, the rear end of the storage cylinder 43 is a press contact portion 250 that press-contacts with an insertion restriction portion 240 described later. Further, a return spring 49 that biases the storage cylinder 43 in the tip direction is also attached. The return spring 49 is compressed when the housing cylinder 43 moves rearward by the pressing of the tip joint 41. When the contact tip 42 is pressed, the ferrite core 44 of the digitizer unit 40 is also pressed backward. As a result, the writing pressure detection unit 46 is in contact. That is, the writing pressure detection unit 46 detects the pressure applied to the contact tip 42.
　電磁誘導コイル４５、キャパシタ４７及び筆圧検知部４６は図示しない配線によって図４８に示すような回路を形成している。ここで、筆圧検知部４６が接触すると、図４８の回路が閉状態となる。 The electromagnetic induction coil 45, the capacitor 47, and the writing pressure detection unit 46 form a circuit as shown in FIG. 48 by wiring not shown. Here, when the writing pressure detection unit 46 contacts, the circuit of FIG. 48 is closed.
　図４９は、各実施形態の入力ペン１０の使用状態を示すものである。入力ペン１０は、後述する木軸２０にデジタイザユニット４０が収容されたものであり、木軸２０の先端から接触先端４２が突出している。 FIG. 49 shows a usage state of the input pen 10 of each embodiment. The input pen 10 is one in which a digitizer unit 40 is housed in a wooden shaft 20 which will be described later, and a contact tip 42 projects from the tip of the wooden shaft 20.
　入力装置７０の入力面７１の下面には、特定の周波数の電磁波を発生する図示しない位置検出装置が設けられている。そして、入力面７１の上を入力ペン１０の接触先端４２で描線７２のようになぞると、接触先端４２が押圧される。これにより、図４８に示す回路が閉状態となると、電磁誘導により、回路に電流が流れることになる。この電磁誘導が生じた位置を、入力装置７０は座標情報として認識することで、描線７２が電子データとしても記録されることとなる。 On the lower surface of the input surface 71 of the input device 70, a position detection device (not shown) that generates electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency is provided. Then, when the contact tip 42 of the input pen 10 is traced on the input surface 71 as a drawing line 72, the contact tip 42 is pressed. As a result, when the circuit shown in FIG. 48 is closed, a current flows through the circuit due to electromagnetic induction. The input device 70 recognizes the position where this electromagnetic induction has occurred as coordinate information, so that the drawn line 72 is also recorded as electronic data.
　なお、接触先端４２への押圧が解除されると、リターンスプリング４９の復元力によりフェライトコア４４も前方へ復帰して筆圧検知部４６の接触も解除され、図４８の回路は開状態となる。 When the pressure on the contact tip 42 is released, the ferrite core 44 also returns to the front due to the restoring force of the return spring 49, the contact of the writing pressure detection unit 46 is also released, and the circuit of FIG. 48 is opened. ..
　第１１実施形態で用いられる木軸２０の構造を、図５０Ａ、図５０Ｂ及び図５０Ｃ並びに図５１を参照しつつ説明する。木軸２０は、図５０Ｂの平面図に示すように断面六角形の柱状構造を呈しており、長手方向に沿って二分割された木軸部材２８、２９が、図５１の組図に示すように貼り合わされて形成されている。木軸２０の内部には、各木軸部材２８、２９に穿設された断面半円形の溝が重ね合わされたことによる断面円形の貫通孔が形成されており、これが木軸２０の軸心においてデジタイザユニット４０を収容する装着孔２３となっている。木軸２０は、通常の鉛筆の木軸と同様のサイズとして形成される。 The structure of the wooden shaft 20 used in the eleventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 50A, 50B, 50C, and 51. The wooden shaft 20 has a columnar structure with a hexagonal cross section as shown in the plan view of FIG. 50B, and the wooden shaft members 28 and 29 divided into two along the longitudinal direction are as shown in the assembly diagram of FIG. Is formed by being bonded to. Inside the wooden shaft 20, a through hole having a circular cross section is formed by superimposing grooves having a semicircular cross section, which are bored in the wooden shaft members 28 and 29, at the axial center of the wooden shaft 20. The mounting hole 23 accommodates the digitizer unit 40. The wooden shaft 20 is formed to have the same size as that of a normal pencil wooden shaft.
　なお、木軸２０の材質及び木軸２０を使用する意義については前記第１実施形態と同様である。 The material of the wooden shaft 20 and the significance of using the wooden shaft 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment.
　木軸２０の装着孔２３には、後端から各種の挿入部材２００が挿入される。そのいくつかの例を以下に示す。 The various insertion members 200 are inserted into the mounting holes 23 of the wooden shaft 20 from the rear end. Some examples are shown below.
　図５２は、第１１実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の第１例を部分断面側面図にて示すものである。木軸２０の装着孔２３には、挿入部材２００としての尾栓１２が後端から挿入されている。尾栓１２は、装着孔２３に挿入される円柱状の後端挿入部１３と、その後端挿入部１３の後端に一体に形成され、木軸２０の後端縁と圧接して係止する後端被覆部１４とで構成されている。後端挿入部１３の先端は、木軸２０の中途部分までに達し、その先端縁が挿入規制部２４０となっている。一方、装着孔２３の先端からは、デジタイザユニット４０が挿入される。なお、本図を含め以降で言及される各図においては、デジタイザユニット４０については図４７Ａ～図４７Ｃで詳述された各部の構造を簡略化して示している。 FIG. 52 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing a first example of the input pen 10 according to the eleventh embodiment. The tail plug 12 as the insertion member 200 is inserted into the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 from the rear end. The tail plug 12 is integrally formed with a cylindrical rear end insertion portion 13 to be inserted into the mounting hole 23 and a rear end of the rear end insertion portion 13, and is pressed against the rear end edge of the wooden shaft 20 to be locked. It is configured with the rear end covering portion 14. The front end of the rear end insertion portion 13 reaches the middle portion of the wooden shaft 20, and the front end edge thereof serves as an insertion regulation portion 240. On the other hand, the digitizer unit 40 is inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23. Incidentally, in each of the drawings referred to hereinafter including this drawing, the structure of each part of the digitizer unit 40 detailed in FIGS. 47A to 47C is simplified and shown.
　デジタイザユニット４０の後端に設けられている圧接部２５０は、後端挿入部１３の先端縁の挿入規制部２４０と圧接する。すなわち、挿入規制部２４０はデジタイザユニット４０の挿入限界を画している。なお、木軸２０の先端は、先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっており、入力ペン１０として使用する際にデジタイザユニット４０の先端が視認しやすくなっている。 The pressure contact portion 250 provided at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 is in pressure contact with the insertion regulation portion 240 at the front edge of the rear end insertion portion 13. That is, the insertion restricting portion 240 defines the insertion limit of the digitizer unit 40. The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a taper portion 21 that is tapered, so that the tip of the digitizer unit 40 can be easily seen when used as the input pen 10.
　本例では、木軸２０の長さを精密に加工しなくても、尾栓１２の後端挿入部１３の先端を適宜切断して短くすることで、デジタイザユニット４０の後端の、木軸２０の内部での位置決めが可能となる。 In this example, even if the length of the wooden shaft 20 is not precisely processed, the tip of the rear end insertion portion 13 of the tail plug 12 is appropriately cut and shortened, so that the wooden shaft of the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 is Positioning inside 20 is possible.
　この図５２に示す状態で、デジタイザユニット４０の外周面と、装着孔２３の内周面との間には、デジタイザユニット４０が抜き差し可能であるとともに、デジタイザユニット４０が木軸２０に挿入されている状態で下向きにしても自然落下しない程度の摩擦力が作用している。これは、デジタイザユニット４０と装着孔２３とのそれぞれの径を調整することで実現することができる。あるいは、デジタイザユニット４０の外周面と装着孔２３の内周面とのそれぞれの表面粗さを調整することで実現することとしてもよい。 In the state shown in FIG. 52, the digitizer unit 40 can be inserted and removed between the outer peripheral surface of the digitizer unit 40 and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 23, and the digitizer unit 40 is inserted into the wooden shaft 20. The frictional force is applied to the extent that it does not fall naturally even if it is facing downward. This can be realized by adjusting the respective diameters of the digitizer unit 40 and the mounting hole 23. Alternatively, it may be realized by adjusting the respective surface roughnesses of the outer peripheral surface of the digitizer unit 40 and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 23.
　図５３は、第１１実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の第２例を部分断面側面図にて示すものである。木軸２０の装着孔２３の後半部分には、挿入部材２００として、筆記機能を有する筆記部材である鉛筆芯１５０が収容される。鉛筆芯１５０の先端は、木軸２０の中途部分までに達し、その先端縁が挿入規制部２４０となっている。一方、装着孔２３の先端からは、デジタイザユニット４０が挿入される。デジタイザユニット４０の後端に設けられている圧接部２５０は、鉛筆芯１５０の先端縁の挿入規制部２４０と圧接する。すなわち、挿入規制部２４０はデジタイザユニット４０の挿入限界を画している。 FIG. 53 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing a second example of the input pen 10 according to the eleventh embodiment. A pencil lead 150, which is a writing member having a writing function, is housed as an insertion member 200 in the latter half of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20. The tip of the pencil lead 150 reaches the midway portion of the wooden shaft 20, and the tip edge thereof serves as an insertion regulation portion 240. On the other hand, the digitizer unit 40 is inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23. The pressure contact portion 250 provided at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 is in pressure contact with the insertion restriction portion 240 at the tip edge of the pencil lead 150. That is, the insertion restricting portion 240 defines the insertion limit of the digitizer unit 40.
　なお、木軸２０の先端は、先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっており、入力ペン１０として使用する際にデジタイザユニット４０の先端が視認しやすくなっている。また、木軸２０の後端も、普通の鉛筆と同様にシャープナーで切削することができ、入力ペン１０の後端は鉛筆として使用することができる。 The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a tapered portion 21 that is tapered so that the tip of the digitizer unit 40 can be easily seen when used as the input pen 10. Also, the rear end of the wooden shaft 20 can be cut with a sharpener like a normal pencil, and the rear end of the input pen 10 can be used as a pencil.
　図５４は、第１１実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の第３例を部分断面側面図にて示すものである。本例は前記した第２例と同様に、木軸２０の装着孔２３の後半部分には、挿入部材２００としての鉛筆芯１５０が収容されるが、鉛筆芯１５０の先端とデジタイザユニット４０の後端との間に、スペーサとしての調整部材２３０が介在している。調整部材２３０は、木材、プラスチックなど、適宜の材質で形成することができる。この調整部材２３０により、デジタイザユニット４０の後端の、木軸２０の内部での位置決めが可能となる。 FIG. 54 is a partial sectional side view showing a third example of the input pen 10 according to the eleventh embodiment. In this example, similarly to the second example described above, the pencil lead 150 as the insertion member 200 is accommodated in the latter half of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20, but the tip of the pencil lead 150 and the rear side of the digitizer unit 40. An adjusting member 230 as a spacer is interposed between the end and the end. The adjusting member 230 can be formed of an appropriate material such as wood or plastic. The adjusting member 230 enables the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 to be positioned inside the wooden shaft 20.
　図５５は、第１１実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の第４例を部分断面側面図にて示すものである。木軸２０の装着孔２３の後半部分には、挿入部材２００として、筆記機能を有する筆記部材であるボールペンリフィル２２２が収容される。ボールペンリフィル２２２の先端（筆記先端の位置する方とは反対であることに留意されたい）は、木軸２０の中途部分までに達し、その先端縁が挿入規制部２４０となっている。一方、装着孔２３の先端からは、デジタイザユニット４０が挿入される。デジタイザユニット４０の後端に設けられている圧接部２５０は、ボールペンリフィル２２２の先端縁の挿入規制部２４０と圧接する。すなわち、挿入規制部２４０はデジタイザユニット４０の挿入限界を画している。 55 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing a fourth example of the input pen 10 according to the eleventh embodiment. A ball-point pen refill 222, which is a writing member having a writing function, is housed as an insertion member 200 in the latter half of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20. The tip of the ball-point pen refill 222 (note that it is opposite to the position where the writing tip is located) reaches up to the middle of the wooden shaft 20, and its tip edge serves as the insertion restricting portion 240. On the other hand, the digitizer unit 40 is inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23. The pressure contact portion 250 provided at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 is in pressure contact with the insertion restriction portion 240 at the tip edge of the ballpoint pen refill 222. That is, the insertion restricting portion 240 defines the insertion limit of the digitizer unit 40.
　なお、木軸２０の先端は、先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっており、入力ペン１０として使用する際にデジタイザユニット４０の先端が視認しやすくなっている。また、木軸２０の後端も、同様にテーパ部２１として切削されているため、入力ペン１０の後端をボールペンとして使用する際にやはり筆記先端が視認しやすくなっている。なお、本例においても、前記第３例のように、ボールペンリフィル２２２の先端とデジタイザユニット４０の後端との間に、スペーサとしての調整部材２３０を介在させることで、デジタイザユニット４０の後端の、木軸２０の内部での位置決めを行うことができる。 The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a tapered portion 21 that is tapered so that the tip of the digitizer unit 40 can be easily seen when used as the input pen 10. Further, since the rear end of the wooden shaft 20 is similarly cut as the tapered portion 21, the writing front end is easily visible when the rear end of the input pen 10 is used as a ballpoint pen. Also in this example, as in the third example, the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 is provided by interposing the adjusting member 230 as a spacer between the front end of the ball-point pen refill 222 and the rear end of the digitizer unit 40. It is possible to position the inside of the wooden shaft 20.
　図５６は、第１１実施形態に係る入力ペン１０の第５例を部分断面側面図にて示すものである。木軸２０の装着孔２３の後半部分には、挿入部材２００としての入力ペンユニット２２３が収容される。入力ペンユニット２２３は、デジタイザユニット４０とは別種の入力態様（たとえば、感圧式や、静電容量式など）が可能なものが望ましいが、デジタイザユニット４０と同じ電磁誘導方式のものであってもよい。入力ペンユニット２２３の先端（入力先端の位置する方とは反対であることに留意されたい）は、木軸２０の中途部分までに達し、その先端縁が挿入規制部２４０となっている。一方、装着孔２３の先端からは、デジタイザユニット４０が挿入される。デジタイザユニット４０の後端に設けられている圧接部２５０は、入力ペンユニット２２３の先端縁の挿入規制部２４０と圧接する。すなわち、挿入規制部２４０はデジタイザユニット４０の挿入限界を画している。 FIG. 56 is a partial sectional side view showing a fifth example of the input pen 10 according to the eleventh embodiment. The input pen unit 223 as the insertion member 200 is accommodated in the latter half of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20. It is desirable that the input pen unit 223 be capable of an input mode different from that of the digitizer unit 40 (for example, a pressure-sensitive type, a capacitance type, etc.), but it may be the same electromagnetic induction type as the digitizer unit 40. Good. The tip of the input pen unit 223 (note that it is opposite to the position where the input tip is located) reaches up to the middle of the wooden shaft 20, and its tip edge serves as the insertion restricting portion 240. On the other hand, the digitizer unit 40 is inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23. The pressure contact portion 250 provided at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 is in pressure contact with the insertion restriction portion 240 at the tip edge of the input pen unit 223. That is, the insertion restricting portion 240 defines the insertion limit of the digitizer unit 40.
　なお、木軸２０の先端は、先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっており、入力ペン１０として使用する際にデジタイザユニット４０の先端が視認しやすくなっている。また、木軸２０の後端も、同様にテーパ部２１として切削されているため、入力ペン１０の後端を別の入力ペンとして使用する際にやはり入力先端が視認しやすくなっている。なお、本例においても、前記第３例のように、入力ペンユニット２２３の先端とデジタイザユニット４０の後端との間に、スペーサとしての調整部材２３０を介在させることで、デジタイザユニット４０の後端の、木軸２０の内部での位置決めを行うことができる。 The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a tapered portion 21 that is tapered so that the tip of the digitizer unit 40 can be easily seen when used as the input pen 10. Further, since the rear end of the wooden shaft 20 is similarly cut as the tapered portion 21, the input front end is easily visible when the rear end of the input pen 10 is used as another input pen. Also in this example, as in the case of the third example, the adjustment member 230 as a spacer is interposed between the tip of the input pen unit 223 and the rear end of the digitizer unit 40. Positioning of the ends inside the wooden shaft 20 can be performed.

The structure of the wooden shaft 20 used in the twelfth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 57A, 57B, 57C, 57D, and 58. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 57B and the bottom view of FIG. 57C, the wooden shaft 20 has a columnar structure with a hexagonal cross section, and the wooden shaft members 28 and 29 divided into two along the longitudinal direction are shown in FIG. As shown in the assembly drawing of FIG. Inside the wooden shaft 20, a space having a circular cross section is formed in the front half portion by superimposing grooves having a semicircular cross section formed in the front half portions of the respective wooden shaft members 28, 29.

On the other hand, the latter half of the wooden shaft 20 is solid, and the mounting hole 23 is formed as a bottomed hole from one end (that is, the tip) of the wooden shaft 20 to the middle portion. The bottom surface 26 of the bottomed hole faces the tip side, and this functions as an insertion restriction portion 240 that defines the insertion limit of the digitizer unit 40. The wooden shaft 20 is formed to have the same size as that of a normal pencil wooden shaft.

The bottom surface 26 of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 serves as the above-described insertion restricting portion 240, and comes into pressure contact with the pressure contact portion 250 at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40 inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23. That is, the insertion restricting portion 240 defines the insertion limit of the digitizer unit 40. The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a taper portion 21 that is tapered, so that the tip of the digitizer unit 40 can be easily seen when used as the input pen 10.

The frictional force is applied to the extent that it does not fall naturally even if it is facing downward. Due to this frictional force, the digitizer unit 40 is engaged with the wooden shaft 20. This can be realized by adjusting the respective diameters of the digitizer unit 40 and the mounting hole 23. Alternatively, it may be realized by adjusting the respective surface roughnesses of the outer peripheral surface of the digitizer unit 40 and the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 23.

A fitting recess 241 serving as an insertion restricting portion 240 is fixed to the bottom surface 26 of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20. On the other hand, at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40, a fitting convex portion 251 which is a projection having a shape capable of fitting with the fitting concave portion 241 is formed as the pressure contact portion 250. When the digitizer unit 40 is inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23, the fitting convex portion 251 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 241, and by this fitting, the digitizer unit 40 is engaged with the wooden shaft 20 and the input pen 10 Can be used as
　この状態から、デジタイザユニット４０の先端をつまんで先端方向へ引っ張れば、嵌合凸部２５１と嵌合凹部２４１との間の嵌合が解けて離間し、デジタイザユニット４０を木軸２０から取り外すことができる。なお、木軸２０の先端は、先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっており、入力ペン１０として使用する際にデジタイザユニット４０の先端が視認しやすくなっている。 From this state, if the tip of the digitizer unit 40 is pinched and pulled in the tip direction, the fitting between the fitting convex portion 251 and the fitting concave portion 241 is released, and the digitizer unit 40 is removed from the wooden shaft 20.

A magnetic attraction portion 242 having one pole (for example, S pole) of the magnet directed toward the tip end is fixed to the bottom surface 26 of the mounting hole 23 of the wooden shaft 20 as an insertion regulation portion 240. On the other hand, at the rear end of the digitizer unit 40, a magnetic force attracting portion 252 having a pole (for example, N pole) opposite to the magnetic force attracting portion 242 facing the rear end direction is fixed as a pressure contact portion 250. When the digitizer unit 40 is inserted from the tip of the mounting hole 23, the magnetic attraction portions 242 and 252 of both sides attract each other by magnetic force, and the attraction causes the digitizer unit 40 to engage with the wooden shaft 20 and the input pen 10 Can be used as
　この状態から、デジタイザユニット４０の先端をつまんで先端方向へ引っ張れば、磁力吸着部２４２、２５２同士の吸着が解けて離間し、デジタイザユニット４０を木軸２０から取り外すことができる。なお、木軸２０の先端は、先細に切削されたテーパ部２１となっており、入力ペン１０として使用する際にデジタイザユニット４０の先端が視認しやすくなっている。 From this state, if you pinch the tip of the digitizer unit 40 and pull it toward the tip, the magnetic attraction sections 242 and 252 will be separated from each other and separated, and the digitizer unit 40 can be removed from the wooden shaft 20. The tip of the wooden shaft 20 is a taper portion 21 that is tapered, so that the tip of the digitizer unit 40 can be easily seen when used as the input pen 10.
